Yorkshire Dales- Ingleton Waterfalls

The plan today was to climb Ingleborough, but more rain was promised so we joined mum and dad. The walk looked impressive with a 17 waterfalls in one walk and a spectacular river edge to follow. I was a little surprised to find the area was private and we had to pay for the privilege of seeing it. (little did I know at the time, it was more than worth it).

We followed a river up the valley with waterfall after waterfall around every corner. The water was dark brown, like back home in south-west Tassie, and the rocks were covered in moss, enough to make you home sick. After having lunch at the top we headed up over the hill. At the top there was a conveniently place ice cream van, trust the British. The second valley had some beautiful areas where the water had carved out deep gorges. The walk finished in Ingleton where we had cup of tea and a cake with the local CWA ladies.

Before heading off home to take a convoluted path through the hills behind Settle to show mum and dad the path we had taken. It was as steep and narrow as I remember, but that rewarding feeling you get after cycling up a whopping great hill was missing. Can't wait to see my bike again.

Discovered one bag had been found by British Airways, in Milan?? On its way back to the UK! Only 3 to go now...
